Tab key not working in sub-dialogs

I am trying to fix Edit Control bugs reported in code I
have recently inherited.

Initially I had a problem with Tab Keys inserting, well, Tab characters in the text box, rather than causing the
focus of the dialog to move to the next Tab Stop.

I thought I had fixed that by unchecking the ES_MULTILINE style field in the Dialog Properties window.

However, now I get a BeepMessage (DING!) whenever I am typing the in the Edit Control and I press the Tab key.

Why is this happening? How do I get the Tab key to work
normally (ie, to cause the focus to move tot he next Tab Stop?)

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
 
Hi

Well, you just have to do nothing to move from one control to another using the Tab key ...
Is there a OnChar, OnKeyDown or similar handler in the code of your dialog box ?
